"Is this the Maha Mountains?"
Two months later, standing in a place with a fairly wide view, Shushu looked at the endless mountain range in front of him and asked Liang Qiuyuan curiously.
After two months of getting to know each other, the initial awkwardness and unfamiliarity had faded. When he heard Shushu's question, Liang Qiuyuan was no longer as reserved as before and answered with a smile.
"Yes, the Maha Mountains are just ahead. What? Don't you think so? Or do you think we've come to the wrong place?"
Shushu took the spiritual fruit that Lu Li handed him, took a bite, and then replied, "I don't disbelieve it, I'm just a little curious."
I'm curious how the Innate Nether Orchid could grow here. After all, it must require a lot of spiritual energy to grow, and from the outside, the Maha Mountains don't seem to have anything special about them.
Shushu didn't say the last sentence directly, but Liang Qiuyuan miraculously understood her unspoken meaning at that moment.
After thinking for a moment, Liang Qiuyuan glanced around and whispered in a voice only they could hear, "There are wood spirits beneath the Maha Mountains."
Upon hearing "Wood Spirit," Shushu's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice as well: "Really?"
Liang Qiuyuan: "Really, but it's a pity it got away." When he said this, Liang Qiuyuan's tone was clearly filled with regret. He was obviously quite disappointed that he hadn't caught the Wood Spirit.
Shushu, standing nearby, naturally sensed the regret in his words and was about to offer a few words of comfort.
Suddenly, Huo Yi's message appeared in her mind, indicating that if there really was a Wood Spirit, it should be able to sense the other party.
At the same time, Lu Li also received a message from Xue Yue in his mind, with the same content.
Knowing that spirits can sense each other, the brother and sister exchanged a glance but silently chose to remain silent, not revealing the matter, and of course, not releasing the two spirits.
As the saying goes, one should always be wary of others. Although they are on good terms with Liang Qiuyuan, the two of them will not be foolish enough to reveal all their secrets.
Especially those few that haven't shown themselves to anyone yet, they have absolutely no intention of revealing themselves.
Although Liang Qiuyuan does possess the Eye of Truth, it is only under the premise that he can see through things. If they are hiding in the Divine Beast Space or the Ring Space, he cannot see through them.
This is the drawback of the Eye of Truth, and it can also be seen as an alternative form of protection from Heaven for people with special abilities.
After all, if they could really see everything, how could the people of this world allow them to exist? They would have joined forces to destroy them long ago. Nobody wants their trump cards and assets to be exposed, right?
However, they only thought these things in their hearts and did not show them. They still had the same expression as before. Shushu looked at the Maha Mountains curiously, while Lu Li stayed by her side.
As for why they didn't say anything more after hearing that Mu Ling had run away, Liang Qiuyuan didn't delve too deeply into it.
Whether Lu Lishu was regretting that Mu Ling had run away, or was secretly plotting against Mu Ling, he didn't intend to interfere.
His goal, from beginning to end, was the innate Minglan.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Shushu, his usually clear eyes filled with anticipation: "Shushu, have you sensed the Innate Nether Orchid?"
When Shushu met his expectant gaze, she didn't put on airs. She carefully sensed the signal, but found nothing, so she honestly shook her head: "No."
As she finished speaking, the light in Liang Qiuyuan's eyes dimmed slightly, making Shushu feel a little embarrassed.
Just as she was hesitating whether to say something to comfort him, she caught a glimpse of a figure walking over out of the corner of her eye.
"Yuan'er, don't rush. We haven't even entered the mountain range yet. Don't put pressure on Fellow Daoist Shu." It was Liang Qiuying.
Liang Qiuyuan snapped back to reality, his eyes regaining their clarity: "I know, Aunt, I was the one who had the fortune told." After saying that, he looked apologetically at Shushu: "I'm sorry, I was too hasty."
Shushu didn't seem to mind and waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing."
After a brief chat, the two sides spotted a group emerging from the Maha Mountains in the distance. The group seemed to know their location and was heading straight towards them.
Soon, the group arrived in front of them, and the people with jade badges symbolizing their Liangqiu family identity hung from their waists. They were the people they were waiting for.
After exchanging a few pleasantries and summarizing the information they had, the group set off in an orderly fashion towards the mountains.
Because of the large number of people in the group, they did not encounter any attacks on the outer perimeter.
Neither the spirit beasts in the mountains nor the other training teams dared to attack them; in fact, they would avoid them as soon as they saw them from afar.
Despite traveling at full speed, it still took the group nearly ten days to finally cross the outer edge of the Maha Mountains and arrive at the junction of the middle and outer regions.
Because they were in a hurry to find the Primordial Nether Orchid, they did not stop to pick any spiritual plants, fruits, or special materials they encountered along the way in the past ten days.
At first, Shushu felt a little regretful, but when she thought about the reward the Liangqiu family would give her for this trip, she put that regret aside and followed the Liangqiu family's itinerary without causing any trouble.
As for the whereabouts of the Innate Nether Orchid, it is probably still too far away, and Shushu has not sensed it so far.
After Liang Qiuying's lecture, Liang Qiuyuan obviously remembered this point, so he suppressed his eagerness and stopped urging Shushu. He just protected Shushu and kept his head down on the road.
Strictly speaking, Shushu didn't actually need his cover. By clustering together in the center of the group, Shushu and Luli were able to keep up with the pace of the group without falling behind at all.
Shushu followed instructions obediently throughout the journey, only asking Lu Li for food at most. She didn't hold anyone back, nor did she throw a tantrum like those pampered young ladies from noble families.
Not only Liang Qiuyuan, but also other members of the Liang Qiu family who didn't understand why they had to bring their fellow disciples along, had a much better impression of them, and would often chat and laugh with them.
On this day, they continued on their usual journey, and Shushu, walking in the middle of the group, maintained his normal pace as always.
Suddenly, as he stepped onto another hilltop, Shushu felt a jolt in his heart and involuntarily stopped in his tracks.
Just then, a familiar feeling instantly washed over her, reminding her that something good was ahead.
